Chapter 397: Chapter 253 Sunset Town Completed, Family Comes to Do Business_2

Moreover, this is merely the result of just five industrial parks going into production. According to the final plan, North City will have a total of 30 industrial parks built.

In other words, the industrial system of Yang City is currently operating at only one-sixth of its potential power.

And with more factories naturally comes the need for a huge number of workers.

Therefore, in this past month, in addition to the construction of various factories, the building of residential housing has not been neglected either.

The permanent population of Yang City has already reached 20 million, and all have been allocated houses.

In about another week, the fifth phase of the residential buildings will be completed, at which point Yang City’s population capacity will be able to reach 25 million.

However, due to developmental needs, the relocation of the population is no longer carried out by simply moving people in by region.

Yang City has now become a sought-after location—where wouldn’t people want to settle? As a result, it has changed to a scenario where Yang City itself selects talents.

They need top technical personnel from every industry, and those who have such skills can register on the official website of Yang City.

As long as they pass the selection, the officials can arrange for them and their families to settle in Yang City.

At that time, with ample capital and talent in Yang City, it could even become the center of the world in the coming years if it continues to develop this way.

This is just concerning the industrial system; there has also been an immense improvement in the field of scientific research.

You should know that a month ago, they had already started the talent introduction plan for researchers.

More than a month into this plan, its implementation has been quite successful.

Although it’s hard to attract top scientists from various countries,

the conditions in Yang City, especially for mid to low-level researchers and postgraduates from world-renowned universities, are immensely appealing.

In just under a month, the number of researchers in Yang City has increased by more than 3,000.

With so many hands on deck, the research institutes in Yang City have directly added more than 50 new scientific research projects.

Because they discovered the Cyclopean giants a month ago, Bai Yinghui and his team felt an almost extreme sense of crisis.

Therefore, all these research projects are related to the military field.

After a month of research irrespective of cost and also collaborating with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, they directly developed the first generation of Power Armor.

Compared to the previous Exoskeleton Armor, the biggest difference with Power Armor, of course, is that it can cover the entire body, somewhat similar to Iron Man.

Of course, real Power Armor is much thicker, standing at 3 meters tall and its outer armor is made of special alloys that are at least 20 millimeters thick.

In terms of defensive power, this Power Armor can at least withstand a frontal attack from Fourth Order Mutated Creatures.

Regarding offensive capabilities, it can add 300,000 tons of force, and when combined with weapons like High-frequency Vibrating Electric Blades, it can definitely pose a threat to Fourth Order Mutated Beings.

A combat squad consisting of 10 Power Armors could even surround and kill a Fifth Order Mutant.

Of course, Power Armor has its downsides as well.

First, it requires the pilot to have a high level of physical fitness.

Without even discussing other aspects, just being suitable for frontline combat with Fourth Order Mutants, each collision involves at least three to four hundred thousand tons of force.

Even if the Power Armor can offset over ninety percent of the force, the pilot still has to withstand the impact of three to four tons.

Ordinary people would turn into mush after a few hits, and even Second Stage Evolutionists would find it unbearable.

Only Evolutionists of Third Order or above can withstand impacts of over 10 tons of force head-on.

Besides this issue, another downside of Power Armor is that it’s expensive.

Primarily because the special alloy that can withstand attacks from Fourth Order Mutated Beings requires using the bodies of high-order mutated creatures, making the price per ton extremely high.

Overall, the cost to produce a single Power Armor is at least 1 billion Huaxia currency.

Even Yang City, with its current economic capacity, would at most be able to grit its teeth and come up with 30 billion Huaxia currency to produce only 30 of these Power Armors.

As for other cities, after the earthquake and cold disaster, their limited funds have been used for recovery and construction. Being able to produce one or two is considered quite impressive.

Over this month, in addition to the rapid development of Yang City, Sunset Camp has also developed just as swiftly.

It has now officially been renamed Sunset Town.

The current permanent population of Sunset Town has decreased from a peak of 800,000 to the present 200,000.

However, Ye Feng was quite satisfied with the 200,000 people remaining, as this number was sufficient to maintain the normal operation of Sunset Town.

Furthermore, with the great disaster coming to an end, the temperature has returned to around minus ten degrees, and phenomena like blizzards have ceased.

In such conditions, normal travel is no longer hindered, hence the particularly large number of people traveling to Sunset Town.

Although there are only 200,000 permanent residents, the transient population reaches nearly 800,000.

Moreover, due to the pleasant climate in Sunset Town, warm as spring, many of the visitors tend to stay for a week or two.

On one hand, this is naturally because travel at this time is very expensive, mainly due to the cost of hiring security companies for escort.

On the other hand, the longer they stay, the greater the probability of obtaining Spiritual Energy Fruits or Fruits of Life.

Today is a special day for Ye Feng.

Because his father, Ye Xiangfeng, had resigned from his previous job and mortgaged his house and car, amassing a total of 5 million Huaxia currency to start a business in Sunset Town.

Of course, if it had been just his father, he definitely would not have had the courage, but with Chen Dalong "urging" him on, it was a different story.

Each contributing 5 million, they gathered 10 million as start-up capital and promptly established a company.

His father held 51% of the shares and took the position of chairman, while Chen Dalong, although not in charge of day-to-day management, would help with networking.

In fact, this company had started preparations half a month ago; they acquired eight plots of land in the best locations and began building eight sizable inns, named "Sunset Inn."

Today is the grand opening day of the Sunset Inn.

His father, mother, and little sister all came over early in the morning; at this time, they were all feeling anxious.

After all, to get these eight inns up and running, they had invested all their assets and even borrowed money, so it was no wonder they were nervous.

"Look, Ye my brother, don’t worry so much. Our inn, whether it’s the location, decorating style, or service standards, is definitely among the best. We’re sure to make money," Chen Dalong said, patting Ye Xiangfeng’s shoulder and chuckling.

"That’s true, but until we see the results, I’m still uneasy," Ye Xiangfeng said with a wry smile.

"Relax, relax, didn’t I say I’d back you up? Think about it, my security company travels between these cities. How many people can we bring in every day? Just slipping in some advertising during the process is definitely enough to make these inns fully booked," Chen Dalong said confidently.

Mad Dragon Security Company now employs 500 combat personnel, all well-equipped, even with heavy weapons.

It can be said that Mad Dragon Security Company could deploy a hundred-man squad with combat power competitive with three to four hundred men from other security companies.

Mad Dragon Security Company has since split into five squads, each undertaking different missions.

And at least two of these squads will travel between cities, accepting missions to escort travelers.

They have even started collaborations with many local travel agencies.

So, to say that Mad Dragon Security Company at some level controls the client source is absolutely no exaggeration.

This was how Chen Dalong convinced Ye Xiangfeng to start a business with him initially.

Ye Xiangfeng also understood this point. He took a deep breath to calm himself and said, "The opening time is almost upon us, let’s go out and take a look!"
